Tinchebray-Bocage Vacations from $1,508

.

Lovely night - after visiting this hotel many years ago, we returned and were not disappointed. Lovely rooms, great staff and close to Honfleur for a wander in the morning.

The exterior of the hotel, and the grounds are absolutely stunning. Truly beautiful and unforgettable. There are no elevators. Our room was very quiet and the bed was comfortable, with an excellent bathroom - though the bedroom carpet was very worn - a minor issue, I know. Breakfasts were disappointing for the supplementary price they charge. I have had better breakfasts in cheaper chain hotels. They should either improve the quality or reduce the price. Dinner in the Capucine restaurant was truly excellent, apart from a rather disappointing dessert (we had the lowest price set menu -about 68 Euros). Service was good, and sitting outside on a summer evening was delightful. The swimming pool area is superb - a lovely pool, with plenty of sun loungers. The spa was a bit disappointing - the jacuzzi felt as if a lot of sand or grit was in the bottom of it. We did not have any paid spa sessions, so cannot comment. All in all, a lovely hotel which we enjoyed, but a few disappointments.

We originally booked a room with a partial sea view except the top half of the window was a mirror and you would need to be dwarf size to see the view through the glass below. They changed our room to a larger version except without a sea view. The SPA treatments were completely booked out over the 2 days we stayed and one would need to book in advance. Morning time was noisy from 6am with deliveries to the catering area which we could hear from our room. Otherwise, the hotel was OK but way overpriced considering breakfast was not included and the car park per night was €30.00 The area around the hotel is very good with a great choice of shops and restaurants.
